Storm and water damage affect not only the structure of your house but also your belongings. SERVPRO of Clarion Jefferson and Forest Counties understands that your home is more than a structure; your family’s furniture, clothing, keepsakes, and other belongings help transform a house into a home.

Contents Restoration

SERVPRO of Clarion Jefferson and Forest Counties specializes in restoring contents damaged by storms and other water damage events. Our expertise and our “restore” versus “replace” mentality can help you save money while preserving precious keepsakes that can’t be replaced. We pretest your contents to determine what items can be restored back to their condition before the water damage. We utilize several methods of cleaning your contents, including:

• Dry Cleaning - Used for cleaning light residues or to pre-clean prior to cleaning.
• Wet Cleaning - An effective cleaning method for removing moderate to heavy residues.
• Spray and Wipe - Effective for items that can’t withstand cleaning.
• Foam Cleaning - Used for upholstery fabrics that might shrink or bleed if cleaned.
• Abrasive Cleaning - Involves agitation of the surface being cleaned. 
• Immersion Cleaning - Contents are dipped into a bath of the cleaning product.

Move-Outs/Pack-Outs

If your home requires extensive restoration or cleaning, SERVPRO of Clarion Jefferson and Forest Counties can conduct an organized, efficient move-out of the affected area. A move-out will provide several benefits, including:

•  Quicker remodeling processes
•  Protecting items from potential damage
•  Protecting contents from further on-site damage

When restoration is completed, we will work with you to coordinate the move-in according to your needs.

We Are…..#1 in Storm & Water Damage

Flooding is a coast-to-coast threat to the United States and its territories in all months of the year. Flooding typically occurs when prolonged rain falls over several days, when intense rain falls over a short period of time, or when an ice or debris jam causes a river or stream to overflow into local neighborhoods  Flooding can also result from the failure of a water control structure, such as a levee or dam. The most common cause of the flooding is water due to rain and/or snowmelt that accumulates faster than soils can absorb it or rivers can carry it away. Approximately seventy-five percent of all Presidential disaster declarations are associated with flooding. Below are the most common flood hazards to impact the United States:

• Flash Flooding
• River Flooding
• Storm Surge and Coastal Inundation from Tropical and Non-Tropical Systems
• Burn Scars/Debris Flows
• Ice/Debris Jams
• Snowmelt
• Dry Wash
• Dam Breaks/Levee Failure

• Our Water Damage Restoration Process

  Every water damage situation is a little different and requires a unique solution, but the general process stays the same. The steps listed below illustrate our process for the “typical” water damage emergency.

  Step 1: Emergency Contact

  Step 2: Inspection and Damage Assessment

  Step 3: Water Removal/Water Extraction

Snow storms can mean beautiful scenery and downed power lines as well as communication disruptions

Winter storms can bring cold temperatures, icy roads, power losses, and loss of communication services.

Winter storms can bring cold temperatures, icy roads, power losses, and loss of communication services. To keep your home and family safe this winter, it’s important to prepare before a storm hits. Here are some tips to help you prepare your home for a winter storm:

• Insulate water lines that run along exterior walls to help prevent freezing and bursting.
• Caulk and weather-strip doors and windows.
• Insulate walls and attic.
• Repair any roof leaks and cut away tree branches that could fall onto your home.
• Install storm windows or cover windows with plastic from the inside.
• Have your chimney or flue inspected every year.
• Install a battery-operated carbon monoxide detector and smoke detector. Make sure to test them monthly and replace the batteries twice a year. (Suggestion: When we change the clocks.)
• If you use a wood stove, fireplace, or kerosene heater, keep a fire extinguisher nearby and keep all fuel-burning equipment vented outside. (Be sure you know how to operate the fire extinguisher)
• Have your furnace and vents checked and cleaned every winter.
• For older adults, keep an easy-to-read thermometer inside the home and check it often during winter months.
